How to Remove Write Protection on USB drive - 2016 

To all the people, who were reporting that this doesn't work. Firstly, check for any external switch on your USB drive. Some USB drives have a switch on them, using which you can turn on or off, the write protection. If they don't, then you have to follow the method that I showed you in the Video. I repeat once again, this works only on the computer using which you created the write protection. And here is a reply for all of those who were making mean comments that this is not working. If you can easily remove write protection from any computer as you wish, then where is the security for your USB? I mean, what is the use of locking your USB drive, if anyone can remove the lock soo easily, from their own Computer. Just think. Cheers!

The only person who showed me how to clear the write only on my thumb drive! THANK YOU! AWESOME WORK!

yo..boy! Disk attributes cleared successfully but still it doesnt work :(

Thanks for helping me to create my usb .I tried so many times with other methods and now I'm eventually done with it.

Hey, Tech Raj - I just want to say a quick thank you. The write protected video helped me greatly and, most importantly, quickly this morning, as I am dealing with a triple whammy - a flashdrive with access issues, lost files, and all of a sudden WAS write protected. I appreciate your video very much!

Thank you so much. I have watched many tutorials on this topic and this is the first time a tutorial starting with what seems an obvious statement but I had never thought about it.

THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell Yessss Bro.. It worked for me. Still working in 2021. Good Work!

Hi, will just verify why is it not working for me the command "attribute disk clear readonly"? The command wass just loading and not responding at all. hoping for your positive feedback for my concerns. Thanks!

I have problem, i didnt applied write protection, i once plugged in my USB to my pc and it said this, it just started to protect itself by itself

Thank you much- It works!~

thanks for your tutorial

no use still it shows disk is write protected... on my sd card stronium 32 gb & it also contains autorun.ini virus file

it's not working, show us the other method

Hey worked like a charm thank you sir!

works for me, followed step by step. thanks a lot bro.

I have purchased NEW SanDisk Ultra Pendrive 32gb USB 3, as soon as I opened the packet and plug the Pendrive into the computer the PENDRIVE is showing WRITE PROTECTED, I am not able to write anything or format it. 1. Tried using DISKPART--------------method failed to remove Write Protection and the current state is READ ONLY. 2.Tried using EaseUS partition Pro-----method failed to remove Write Protection (error Cannot format disk Write protected) 3. Tried the Regedit method to change StorageDevicePolicies-----Failed method, Also I don't have StorageDevicePolicies folder, I have created one and set the value to 0 but nothing worked. 4. Tried UfixII Pny/HP software----------Failed (Device Not found the error) 5. Tried AOMEI Partition Assistant Unlimited Edition 6.5-----Failed (not able to format due to write protection) 6. Tried Restore v3.18.0.0------Failed (Device not found) 7. Tried Win32Disk Imager----Failed method 8. Tried Formatter Silicon Power v3.7-----------Failed (No device found) 9. Tried to Unallocated Space from Disk Manager------But not able to unallocated space(Failed) 10. Tried Formatting through mobile by connecting through OTG cable-----But Failed because of Write Protection Error. 11. Tried BOOTICE software----But Failed (write protection error) So Finally I am giving up, wasted my 4-5hrs time, but no solution found, watched over 15-20 videos on RU-vid, each video contain solution from above methods, especially the DISK PART and Regedit method. *So friends final Notes*:- Don't waste time, If your Pendrive is NEW replace it from the online website you have purchased if it is under warranty Replace it from the service center, Else Time to buy the new one.

Worked for me, thanks. The funny thing is that I could copy files to my usb on other computers just fine. Computers sometimes weird the hell out of me.

It helps. Thank you!

Your advice regarding using the computer that the write protection was initiated from makes no technical sense that I am aware of. I am however, embarrassed to admit it is correct. Thank you sir. It does however apear that the repaired drive will only work on that one computer. No problem, I still salute you.
